More than 130 countries have agreed on a blueprint to introduce global rules on corporate taxation to be discussed by G20 finance ministers next week, German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz said on Friday.

"With a unanimous agreement on a blueprint for reforming the global corporate tax code we have taken a major step forward," Scholz said in a statement. "This is a positive signal and I'm sure that by the sommer of next year we will be able to reach a final agreement on this reform plan."
